While the paint was still drying, this word popped into my head as the title. Per New Oxford American dictionary - “1) the process of coming into view or becoming exposed after being concealed and 2) the process of coming into being, or of becoming important or prominent.”
Coming full circle now with decades of work, I truly get it - that “Emergence” is my journey. And that every moment of travail and joy ultimately has been and is perfect. So is this piece. Even though it’s small in size, it encapsulates the message and is quite powerful.
Although I’ve posted this painting many times in reference to subjugation, repeating is appropriate in clarifying my purpose. And, if my artistic expressions help others heal and emerge, then this is a brilliant, happy collaboration.
